First negative review in my life. So VERY long story short: I bought a used scooter in Winter Park in December 2013. I was told no refunds, no guarantee etc due to it was used which was logical for me. I just asked to change the front bulb since it was not working and to put full tank in. When I paid and my scooter was parked in front before closing the place, I found none of these things were done. I asked again, got the fuel fortunately to be able to drive home but I was informed the bulb had been changed and there was something wrong with the nest because it was not working. Got back home and spent 3 days on the scooter doing some minor repairs and tune ups to make sure everything works etc. I found out the front cover of the lamp was not even touched, I have put it apart, changed the bulb and TA DA! I came back to the place in February the 1st to leave the scooter for sale since I was moving. Signed the deal, set the price range and left. I was waiting to be informed about the sale. After 4 months and few questions on FB, I called to check how it was going - couldnt get the info since JJ was unreachable. After few attempts finally got through and I was told that the scooter had been sold 2 months earlier! Although I left phone numbers, email adress and conversation on FB, JJ told me I had been unreachable. To make it worse, he explained that my scooter came back to his place with damaged engine and he had to give the money back to the client! After vivid conversation, he admitted he owned me money regardless to his action and promised to send me a wiretransfer (which I asked about when signing the deal). I was told to call him on specific day so he could check in papers for how much my scooter was sold. I did it of course to find out JJ was off that day! Although he was given specific details what to fill in when doing the wiretransfer, he failed 3 times - thats JJ version. I called the bank and was told they see 1 attempt and it was rejected due to name mistake. After another few weeks of calling and emailing JJ refused to do wiretransfer. We agreed that I would be sent a check with regular mail. After another month of waiting to receive it I called again and offered my lawyers services. I was told the check had been mailed, but never got to the address. Sure. Briefly, I got my check now ($10 less than agreed for no reason, but I do not care anymore) and the whole story took OVER 6 MONTHS and over dozen of emails and phonecalls, generally a lot of wasted time and energy. I think this is not how you do your business with your returning clients (they earned selling me the bike and they earned money selling it for me later).

"Cant knock it till you try it" Im a strong believer in trying things out for myself to get a personal opinion. For example movies that come out. Sometimes when you tell somebody about a film you have yet to see "they" can alter your choice by bashing the film. But I still stand my ground & I like to know for myself. Well the same goes for my expirence at WILD HOGS located in Winter Park off 1932 W Fairbanks. I am not friends with any of the employees or favor them by any means nore was I paid to write this. But i now know I have a reliable source & have gained an organic relationship through there exceptional work. Im from up North near Chicago. When I moved here I was a little leery on purchasing a scooter (I did not buy my scooter from them but a private dealer). But I wanted one for commuting in such a small radius from work to home and the gym. Plus the amount of money Ive saved is ridiculous. Anyways it started with me taking the scooter to another company not far from them. When I entered the other company he wasnt very intrigued, I felt a vibe of careless and not at all urgant. He didnt even look at my scooter. The turn around time was not acceptable but I still had it stored there for the time being. I found out about WILD HOGS after researching later that night and instantly wanted to have them work on it instead. I made a few phone calls & moved my scooter to them the next morning. The team was young & very responsive, before leaving the office they had already wheeled my scooter to the back of the shop! Hell yeah. Next the pick up date was nothing but on point & on time. The work was clean and I am so so satisfied with how it runs. It felt brand new! So for all those that had told me "Wild Hogs is over priced & does bad work".....YOU CANT KNOCK IT TILL YOU TRY IT YOURSELF! Definitely a happy client. I recommend getting in touch with Swade & Chris. -Christian Cler Buddy 50cc

Unfortunately I cant recommend this business, unless you dont care about them wasting your time, with no apologies. I made an appointment recently to have my motorcycle serviced (oil/filter change) the following week on Tuesday, when they open at 10am (the only day they do motorcycle service). When they finally got the store open and were able to actually help me, about 20 minutes later, the guy working the counter asked me the year and make of cycle and then told me he didnt think they had a filter for it. I commented that this was the reason for making an appt in advance, to ensure they had the parts. He went in the back to double check and confirmed they did not have my filter, but had ordered filters that had not been received as soon as expected. I again mentioned that was the reason for making an appt and that I normally dont have Tuesdays off from work and drove from the UCF area. He did not apologize at all, only stated a couple of times that they had ordered the filters, expecting them to be there. He still didnt apologize but offered to just change just the oil and I could come back later to get the filter changed when it came in. This was my first attempt at using this business and sorry to say, I wont be back. A simple courtesy call or even sincere apologies would have helped but nothing of the kind occurred. Very disappointing to say the least...

I bought a motorcycle from theses quacks a couple of months ago and I will never do business with these guys again. The bike was nothing like the pictures posted or the description they gave. They rated the paint and chrome on this bike a 9 out of 10 and it was a 4 on its best day if you polished. I drove over 500 miles to get the bike and when I test drove it the front brakes locked up on the test ride which caused an injury to my hip. I bought the bike anyways after renegotiating the price to a fair one for what it was worth. Since test drive was cut short I later found a list if other problems with the bike that has cost me over $1000 in repairs. To make matters worse they bought the bike from a Harley dealer and assigned the title to their name and since they did that and never titled it I got it back home and the DMV wont give me a tag for it. I have yet to receive the title back from them and they claim they mailed off a week ago. When I mailed it back to them they received it in 2 days. I have had to resort to retaining a lawyer and after making them aware of what I have to do I have stopped receiving any communications at all. These are a bunch of shady crooks and if I were you I would run away from any type of business dealings with people. Worst experience Ive ever had in my 40 years when it comes to purchasing a vehicle.
